My favorite Karl Malden speech

[insanityrulestheday]

Karl portrays the spirit of God and the CHURCH as it should be, the clergy defending the Rights of the common man in his struggle to exist in a society built on GREED?

[LazlosPlane]

@insanityrulestheday There have been many "Father Doyles" throughout history. We just don't hear about them. There still are. Look at what's going on in Central and South America. How many preists and nuns have been murdered there for fighting back against the tyrannical rule (usually supported by US corporations, which is why we don't hear about it.)

[LazlosPlane]

@insanityrulestheday Sorry, Father Barry, not Doyle. Joey Doyle was the victim earlier in the film.

[insanityrulestheday]

@LazlosPlane You are right to point out that there are many members of the clergy speaking out in central and South America. Unfortunately, the clergy in the west are not so committed and appear complacent with the capitalist system which puts greed above morals.

Really a fantastic and emotional scene, I love this movie.

[kangadillo]

The guy at 1:42, who was the first to throw something, looks a lot like Fred Gwynne. Is it Fred Gwynne?

[jimsutherlandmedia]

@kangadillo yeah he played "Slim" in that. He was uncredited.

[jimaroo100]

One of the best scenes and speeches ever.

[jimsutherlandmedia]

@jimaroo100 tell your friends, it has almost had 1000 views as you can see.

Karl Malden was totaly better than Gregory Peck was

[LazlosPlane]

@92af  Why pick on Peck? Malden was better than most actors, including the "great" Brando.

[92af]

@LazlosPlane I am completly agree with you about that

[hoffmann9471]

Great !

Karl RIP

Thank you so much for including this scene. It is my favorite of all his work and my favorite scene in On the Waterfront. What an actor!  I have had a crush on him for too many years to count and am very saddened by his death. Thanks again for including this masterful scene and how I wish he had won a second Oscar for it. However, another of my favorites Edmond O'Brien won that year so I can't complain.
